Although Joey, who was banged up for a string of violent crimes, isn’t going to be released until March 2018 – Lauren’s had to deny multiple rumours about their relationship, including that she was pregnant.

Lauren sparked claims she was expecting by telling her Twitter followers she “couldn’t hide my bump” any longer.

An insider then told New! Magazine that Lauren was overheard “telling a pal she’s pregnant.”

Lauren later denied the claims and blamed any bloating on her suffering a “windy day”.
